About This Book

A group of Sea Scouts embark on a summer cruise aboard a scout ship, preparing and practicing seamanship and water skills before visiting nearby harbors. During the voyage they face storms, seasickness, inspections, and a harbor fire, respond to emergencies and rescues, and take part in shore sports and club meetings. These episodes foreground teamwork, leadership, practical training, and a growing sense of responsibility and comradeship.

PREFACE

This is not a boys’ “book of adventure” but an imaginary chronicle based upon the setting of an actual cruise. It is believed that there are Sea Scouts who will recognize familiar surroundings and will recall the ideas which are associated with them; and it is hoped that Land Scouts will feel, on the Bright Wing, the same spirit that they associate with the inspiration of the camp fire.
